Right now I can't play Fallout 3. It crashes after the intro video, and no one seems to know how to fix it.

Same....

I think the last time a game just refused to run at all for me was back during the Amiga 500 times. I had to return the game cause one of the disks would always give one of those famous read write errors.

Opening the package and trying Fallout today was kind of a WTF like back then.
